I'm so glad to hear that you did this with your garden. I get calls and messages all the time from people wanting to know about their roses, mostly old and antique ones, and I am always glad to hold their hand and help them preserve the old plants. History, that's what it is. Gardens are history, along with houses and people. Anyway, I will bet that there is someone local to you who can give you a hand identifying your roses. A local rose society, or chapter of Heritage Roses Group will probably be best. I don't remember exactly where you are, or I would make better suggestions.

And Mrs. White, I am so happy to know that there are others out there who are a fan of this author. I just love her work. A Solitary Summer is good too.

So I do hope you continue blogging. I think one of the key aspects to blogging is finding your niche, and you've certainly done that. You are like the perfect neighbor. That nice lady down the street in the charming cottage with the beautiful roses, with whom you just love to set and chat. It's my little escape. So please don't stop blogging. I would miss my virtual neighbor.
